Breaking the Mould
The designer duo’s collection moved away from the usual ICW staples — lehengas dripping in sequins, ornate saris, and traditional sherwanis — to present an aesthetic rooted in tailored versatility. The runway saw men in sequinned trousers and women commanding attention in structured bandhgalas paired with lungi-inspired pinstriped skirts. It was couture redefined for boardrooms, cocktail nights, and everything in between.
Star Power Galore
Adding to the spectacle was the glittering front row — and ramp — packed with celebrities. From Arjun Rampal, Jim Sarbh, Rajkummar Rao, Randeep Hooda, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Manushi Chhillar, Zahaan Kapoor, Vihaan Samat, to cricket legend Mithali Raj, the star power at Shantnu & Nikhil’s showcase was unmatched. Their presence underscored the cross-generational and cross-industry appeal of the collection.
Couture for the Contemporary Closet
The duo’s signature tailoring was at the forefront — bandhgalas reimagined as everyday essentials, trousers styled for both power meetings and soirées, and jackets versatile enough to be worn in countless ways. The collection spoke to a new era of Indian couture, where glamour doesn’t have to be reserved for weddings and can just as easily belong to the modern professional’s wardrobe.
A Standout of ICW 2025
With their androgynous, boundary-pushing designs, Shantnu & Nikhil once again proved why they are among the most innovative forces in Indian couture. Their ICW 2025 showcase wasn’t just a fashion show; it was a statement on versatility, gender-fluidity, and the evolution of occasionwear in India.
